The title of this album was no mistake. Listen to the lyrics, sparse as they are. Listen to the emotion that the music evokes. Whoever said this album is a masterpiece was correct. Though it may be saddening, this was Charlie Cooper’s last message to a world he might’ve felt he had no other way out of. Just listen.

Anonipotomous, you need to realize that Create Digital Music is practically a blog, not a music tech site. Also, go take a jump off of a huge cliff.

“sad that your friend died, but youâ€™re just shamelessly promoting his album. how does this help me create digital music?”

really??? what a jerk. go read something else.

personally, i think the new Telefon Tel Aviv is great. its def. a different direction for them (um, but wasn’t the last one too??), but a welcome one.

the album was titled and released before this happened, has nothing to do with being a “smart move”. It’s also a masterpiece, and I’m sad to see this incredible musician go.

For now and for all time:
This is not a tech news site. If you want that exclusively, please go elsewhere. I’ve always been a believer in the whole spectrum of what the medium is about; if anything, I haven’t done as a good a job as I’d like of covering that range.

In fact, it’s really a goal of mine to cover more music. Charlie Cooper is not someone I’m fortunate enough to claim as a personal friend. He’s someone whose music I find inspiring. And I hope that the music we care about is something that helps us create digital music.

It’s certainly not “shameless” promotion because I don’t get anything in return. And yes, as to the earlier comment, the title is incredibly unfortunate, but I hope we can connect to the music nonetheless.

Am I missing something?
